Second Storey returns to Houndstooth with Bismuth. "Bismuth" takes inspiration from a documentary on the visually impressive metal. Affected by its angular, complex 3D elements and fluid like structures the music deploys the intricate precision of IDM creates its own multiplex of textures. Melodic polyrhythms and chord structures define "Vapor Valve", working neatly with Storey's trademark tight percussion. "Grand Rapid" lives up to its title - urgent in nature, it is propelled by its ever-present bassline groove and percussive elements. "Helicat" is built around the interplay between the main riff and synth percussion elements.

Formerly known as Al Tourettes, Alec Storey unveiled his Second Storey project with 2013's Margosa Heights EP. Now comes "Shaman Champagne," the lead single from his forthcoming Double Divide LP. Storey produces music running from multi-part suites of hefty sound design to club-shaking dance epics for labels like Apple Pips, Aus and more. "Shaman Champagne" is an adventurous club tune crafted by an inspired mind, displaying his bass roots and his psychedelically-inspired musical abilities. Perc Trax boss Perc offers up a heavy, pummeling remix, complimented by a bouncy dancefloor roller from Aden (rumored to be the Ultramajic label's A&R, Machinedrum).

Formerly known as Al'Tourettes and one half of R&S's ALSO (alongside Appleblim), Alec Storey unveiled his Second Storey project in 2013. "One Sound" is the second single from his 2014 debut LP Double Divide (HTH 031CD/LP), and intertwines Second Storey's electro and bass music influences over six restless, bouncy minutes. Exclusive track "Layer Lock" is equally frenetic, but echoes IDM in its micro-melodies and unconventional structure. Luke Vibert provides a sampladelic version of "One Sound," adding splashes of color in the finest cut 'n' paste style. Cristian Vogel transforms "Layer Lock" into a delightful and confounding shape-shifting head-nodder.

Second Storey (previously known as Al Tourettes) produces music that runs the gamut from multi-part suites of hefty sound design to club-shaking yet brainy dance epics for labels such as Apple Pips, Aus and many more. This new project is at the crossroads; vastly complex, intricately arranged and inspired by love and emotion. Double Divide inhabits a space full of contradictions, paradoxes and idiosyncrasies -- it's a mix of high-intensity, beat-driven music, adventurous club tunes that show off Storey's bass roots, but at the same time is balanced by more emotive ambient passages, psychedelically-inspired musical abilities, complex rhythmic structures and emotive melodic phrases.
